“…In comparison to mesophilic conditions, low temperature accelerates membrane biofouling. Membranes suffer from severe fouling at lower temperatures because of decreased biodegradation rates, reduced back-transport of fouling materials from the membrane surface, increased viscosity, and higher deflocculation rate [15,76]. Reduction of temperature from 35ºC to 25ºC did not cause important fouling on AFMBR, but there was severe fouling at 15ºC [50].…”

Domestic and industrial wastewaters are characterized by high organic content along with other diverse pollutants. Modern wastewater management comprises efficient removal of pollutants and gain energy to fulfil the discharge standards, protect the environment and sustain economic development. Until the last few decades, aerobic treatment technologies were dominant in wastewater treatment. Despite efficient treatment, large energy consumption for aeration, high operational cost and production of a great amount of sludge are the main drawbacks of aerobic systems. Wastewater treatment by anaerobic biological processes has many advantages over aerobic and other removal systems [1]. In addition to higher organic matter removal with less nutrient requirement, lower sludge production and energy-rich methane (CH 4) production are the main outcomes of anaerobic technologies. Various individual and combined anaerobic reactor systems have been successfully applied for the treatment of wastewater [2-5]. Anaerobic bioreactors contain a diverse microbial community, and slow-growing methanogens are very sensitive to changes in environmental conditions. In order to achieve the high treatment performance

“…Further, they concluded that biofilm MBR experienced a low degree of fouling and higher permeability recovery compared to CAS MBR. Liao, Bokhary, Bokhary, Maleki, and Liao (2018) reviewed current membrane fouling issues due to microalgae in membrane photobioreactors. They investigated mechanisms of membrane fouling in algal-related processes and strategies to control fouling.…”

“…Despite the fact that the MBR technology has been widely used for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment in full-scale plants, membrane fouling is a major challenge that hinders a wide application of MBRs [6]. The fouling of membranes in MBRs has received much attention as a result of the major role of the membrane's life span in the performance of MBRs [8,9]. As MBR has a growing market for municipal and industrial implementation, more research has been pursued to overcome the operational challenges from fouling.…”

The subject of electrokinetics has received considerable interests in the field of membrane bioreactors (MBRs) in recent years. Electrokinetic transport mechanism and associated reactions have wide applications in separations and MBRs. The success of electrokinetic-enhanced separations would highly depend on the study of its conceptions, perhaps leading to opening vast research need. It is also conceivable that the theoretical study of electrokinetic phenomena, especially in the MBRs, indeed leads to profound success in the bioreactor research, design, and operations. This chapter is aiming to overcome the enigma in this field of research and make the fundamental concepts and recent advances readily accessible to researchers and practitioners in membrane technologies.
